Doesn't have to be the reader, in general "you" would not know who it refers to specifically because it really mean anyone sharing the same experience. (see what I tried to do here?) One would probably have encountered those constructions while reading though ;). Never heard 'One' in colloquial English.
One could think that 'one' is a bit more like a general 'I' than a general 'you'
